Left side fan has a tendency to get noisy, how come?
A while ago the left fan in my macbook started to act up and make a lot of noise, so i bought a new one from this site and used the guide to change it with great success (I actually changed both fans but I don't think that's relevant to my current problem).
Now, a couple of months later, the new left fan is acting up again. I opened the case to see if dust or a piece of tape or something was obstructing it, but it all looked fine.
Is this just a case of bad luck or is this a common issue?
Edit: If I tilt the laptop almost 90 degrees, the noise stops.
Is this a good question?

What kind of noise is it making?
by mayer
I guess I would describe it as a "whirr" or "buzz", midrange pitch, with differences in volume depending on the computers position/angle. Sometimes there's no noise at all though.

I have the same problem like henrikland .

Interesting! Have you also replaced your fan?
by henrikland
Not yet, because I want to be sure. And knowing you changed both, order two at a time, but first I want to know if this is the right solution.
